Working Principle

Material & Structural Characteristics

• Amplifier magnetic core: High-permeability silicon steel laminated magnetic shield
• Power circuit substrate: High-temperature ceramic insulated circuit board
• Outer housing: Cold-rolled steel sheet with anti-rust gray electrostatic coating
• Adjustment interface: Sealed rotary potentiometers with dust-proof silicone rubber caps
• Wiring terminals: Screw-type brass terminal blocks with anti-loosening spring washers

Core Advantages & Highlights

1. Multi-input signal summation eliminates external signal mixing hardware for complex regulation loops
2. Magnetic pre-amplifier provides exceptional common-mode noise rejection in industrial EMC environments
3. Integrated thyristor power stage reduces overall control cabinet component count
4. Front-panel accessible gain and dead-band adjustment without cabinet disassembly
5. Stable zero-deviation hold positioning without continuous power draw under static load

Applicable Industries

Installation Mandatory Requirements

1. Mount vertically inside control cabinet with minimum 30 mm top/bottom ventilation clearance
2. Separate 220 V AC power wiring from low-level analog signal wiring by minimum 25 cm distance
3. Install external mains surge protection device on the amplifier’s AC power input terminal
4. All analog signal wiring must use shielded twisted-pair cable with single-point shield grounding
5. Calibrate gain and dead-band potentiometers after full wiring completion before power-up

Operation & Maintenance Precautions

1. Do not operate without matching two-phase servo motor load connected to output terminals
2. Clean internal magnetic amplifier core dust accumulation every 18 months of continuous operation
3. Avoid ambient humidity exceeding 80% non-condensing to prevent internal circuit corrosion
4. Disconnect AC mains power before adjusting front-panel calibration potentiometers
5. Replace internal thyristor components immediately upon persistent overcurrent fault indication
